Not a big deal. Actually going unconscious is your brains way of preventing damage. You have far less neural function unconscious as opposed to conscious, and your brain switches off the lights once the blood runs dry to avoid function failure. It also takes a minute and a half for brain damage to start AFTER oxygen starvation (once you're out).
Unless you're getting choked out and your opponents are holding chokes for minutes afterwards, it's basically harmless.
It's the same concept as 'passing out' or fainting. The blood leaves the head too quickly after an adrenalin dump sends a surge of blood to the limbs and the person becomes 'woozy' then passes out.
It's not like there's ever been a proven link to brain damage as the result of fainting. It's the same thing.
all of this.
